what?
what?
She...she's actually that strong?!
An admiral this strong... do we really need ship girls?
It seems like she can handle it all by herself...
Veneto felt she needed to process the information she was receiving; she was completely bewildered.
Seeing Veneto's overloaded brain, Xiaobai scratched his cheek sheepishly.
“Veneto, speaking of which, you seemed quite tense while you were unconscious just now,” Xiaobai interrupted Veneto’s bewildered state and asked, “Did you have a bad nightmare?”
"Huh?" Veneto subconsciously lowered his hand and looked at Xiaobai.
After staring at Xiaobai for a few seconds, Veneto suddenly lost her senses. She rubbed her forehead and immediately gave Xiaobai an awkward smile.
"Ah...no, it's nothing...it's nothing..."
"Are you sure everything's okay? You looked pretty unwell just now..."
"It's okay, it's okay, it was just a dream..." Veneto didn't dare to look directly at Xiaobai's face. She turned her head away, her gaze full of embarrassment.
Veneto dared not tell Xiaobai that she had just had a dream in which she almost crossed the Bridge of Helplessness, and that at the end of the Bridge of Helplessness was a magnificent garden inhabited by countless white-haired, golden-eyed girls like Admiral Lu Lin.
It's really dangerous to talk about this.
Moreover, Veneto wasn't sure if what he saw was a dream or the real Bridge of Helplessness...
Seeing that Veneto's expression gradually returned to normal, Xiaobai nodded with some relief and stood up.
"Veneto, how are you feeling now?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.
"It's alright, it's alright..." Veneto nodded repeatedly, subconsciously touching her shoulder.
Veneto's shoulders were wet...
The clothes all over his body were sticky and clung tightly to his skin.
Veneto had no mirror to see herself, but she guessed she must look extremely disheveled.
Chapter 3241 Huge Progress
Veneto was completely soaked in seawater.
Generally speaking, if a ship girl gets this wet, it means she has definitely undergone a major damage protection event. The waterproofing of her ship equipment has completely stopped working, and almost all of her ship equipment functions have been converted into a shield for major damage protection.
But when Veneto closed her eyes and briefly sensed the ship's equipment inside her body, she found that her ship's equipment was intact and showed no signs of damage.
Veneto looked at Little White with curiosity.
Xiao Bai spoke up to explain at the right time.
“We already used a rapid repair device on you while you were unconscious, Veneto.”
"Oh...I see..." Veneto blushed, awkwardly tugging at her collar to keep it from sticking to her chest, her soaked clothes clinging to it. "Well, I'll get up for a moment..."
Veneto quickly got up from the ground.
The ship's power system activated, and wisps of steam rose from Veneto's body, quickly drying her soaked clothes.
"Admiral Lu Lin, I'm so sorry... It was a training session with tight deadlines, but I fainted on my own..." Veneto said to Xiaobai with deep apology.
"It's alright, it's only natural." Xiaobai waved her hand and said with a smile, "You're the first one to wake up among everyone, that's already quite impressive."
Xiao Bai's praise was certainly unique.
Veneto didn't know whether to smile or feel embarrassed.
After regaining his senses, Veneto first went to the edge of the platform and looked down into the water.
Today, this platform, manufactured in Montana, stands like a golden spire on the water, about ten or twenty meters above the surface—neither too high nor too low.
Veneto looked away.
“Miss Montana’s abilities are truly remarkable… to be able to create a building of this scale with such ease,” Veneto said frankly.
"That's right, it's really amazing." Xiaobai nodded in agreement.
"Admiral Lu Lin, you're quite impressive too..." Veneto continued, seizing the opportunity, "You're probably on the same level as Miss Montana..."
“No, no, no, I’m nowhere near as good as Montana,” Little White quickly said, sighing regretfully. “Montana is so capable. She can build whatever she wants, like an architect. Her abilities have unlimited possibilities, but I can’t. I can only break things.”
“…” Veneto turned his gaze to the side.
Xiaobai and Veneto arrived beside Nia and Super Yamato, who were boiling water.
Nia smiled as soon as she saw Veneto wake up.
"Veneto, you're awake."
“Commander, I’m sorry…” Veneto bowed to Nia.
"It's alright, it's alright. Here, would you like some hot water? Or I can make you a cup of milk tea?" Nia picked up a bowl of hot water and said with a smile, "This platform has quite a lot of functions. Besides all the cooking utensils, I also saw a trampoline over there..."
The group was talking.
Suddenly, a faint sound came from the ground of the platform next to them.
Littorio gradually awoke with the help of the deep-sea phoenixes.
Upon seeing Littorio awaken, everyone present rushed over and surrounded him.
"Littorio, how are you feeling?"
"Hmm... Commander...? Admiral Lu Lin...?" Littorio, who had just woken up, opened her eyes, her pupils squinting with some difficulty. Looking at the crowd surrounding her, she coughed uncomfortably twice, then sat up, rubbing her forehead, and exhaled. "Oh... I think I just... vaguely saw the other side... I almost reached it."
"What is your other side like?" Veneto suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Littorio paused, looking at Veneto's sincere and earnest gaze, puzzled. "Why are you asking this..."
"I'm just curious!"
"It's nothing... I just vaguely saw some deep-sea creatures that I defeated standing in the spider lilies, beckoning to me as a group," Littorio said.
“Oh…” Veneto said faintly, somewhat disappointed.
After waking up, Littorio experienced a similar situation to Veneto.
After realizing that he had fainted because he was instantly killed by Xiaobai, Littorio stood there stunned for a long time, thinking.
Just as Littorio was questioning his existence, a series of soft, whimpering sounds began to emerge.
The remaining four ship girls slowly woke up as well.
The awakened ship girls sorted through the available information, marveling at how deep their sleep had been.
Xiaobai smiled and let the ship girls discuss freely for a while. After a short while, she looked down at the time on her phone, then walked up and interrupted the ship girls' discussion.
"Alright, alright everyone, now that you're awake, let's continue," Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Continue?" The ship girls stared wide-eyed at Xiaobai. "Continue what?"
"What else could it be but 'continue'... Of course, it's 'continue training'."
Amidst the almost desperate and horrified gazes of the ship girls, Shiro smiled and uttered those words.
"We don't have much time left. Consider this first time a trial run for you. For the rest of the training, even if you faint again, we won't wait for you to slowly wake up." Xiaobai smiled, clasped her hands together, and said sweetly to the group, "Are you ready?"
Xiaobai's voice is warm and sunny.
But for some reason, what the ship girls heard suddenly sent chills down their spines.
The ship girls' faces turned deathly pale instantly.
The ship girls of Nia's family suddenly remembered.
Previously, when Xiaobai decided to train the ship girls in Nia's dormitory, they broke out in a cold sweat like this.
Looking at it now... it seems that this is the ability of living beings to foresee danger before facing a desperate situation...
……
boom! ! !
boom! ! !
boom! ! !
The sound of gunfire could be heard intermittently in the dark waters.
The artillery fire was accompanied by occasional bursts of intense light, sometimes as bright as day, intermittent, sometimes fierce, sometimes silent.
Xiaobai can't sleep tonight.
Fortunately... all the ship girls present had to stay up all night with Shiro.
……
No sleep for one night.
Time quickly passed to the morning of the second day.
When Xiaobai returned to the platform, Nia had just brewed a cup of milk tea and handed it to Xiaobai.
The warm milk tea, with its milky aroma, felt like a warm campfire in the cold sea.
"Nia, thank you." Xiaobai accepted the milk tea cup and thanked Nia.
"My cooking skills are just so-so, I hope you won't mind, Xiaobai..." Nia was also a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushed slightly as she said shyly.
Xiaobai picked up the milk tea cup and took a sip.
Ok……
Nia's milk tea is handmade, and compared to the mixed milk tea sold on the street, it does lack the unique sweetness that comes with technology.
However... although it has little sweetness, it is very rich in aroma.
It still tastes very good.
Xiao Bai took several sips and smiled at Nia.
"Nia, your skills are so good you could set up a stall."
"Oh, no, no... Thank you, Xiaobai... I, I! I'll make you another cup!" Nia was immediately flustered by Xiaobai's praise. She grabbed the hem of her clothes and quickly turned to run to the stove.
"Nia... take a rest..." Xiaobai called out to Nia from behind.
But Nia, caught up in the excitement, paid no heed to any advice on taking a break.
Xiao Bai, holding her milk tea cup, watched Nia enthusiastically preparing the milk tea and smiled helplessly.
Just as Xiaobai was about to take another sip of her milk tea, a series of rumbling sounds came from below the platform behind her.
Before long, one by one, the red-clad deep-sea Taihou carried a group of ship girls who were seeing stars, tattered and exhausted, onto the platform.
"Finally... finally I can rest..."
"I...I can't move a single finger..."
"So tired... I'm going to die, I'm not kidding... I'm really going to die..."
"..."
"Ha ha……"
"People can't fall here..."
As soon as the ship girls were carried onto the platform, they immediately collapsed onto it, barely breathing and exhaling, with faint twitches visible in their joints.
Such a sight was truly too much for Xiaobai to bear looking at.
Xiao Bai admitted that the intermittent training last night was indeed a bit excessive.
But... there's nothing we can do about it.
After all, this matter involves Nia's top ten challenge. Even a novice like Xiaobai has to harden his heart for Nia and for the ship girls of Nia's family.
So last night, Xiaobai was almost constantly switching between the states of "instantly killing ship girls" and "waiting for ship girls to revive".
A battle lasts only a few seconds. After Veneto and the others are quickly revived by the Deep Sea Taihou, they must quickly enter the next round of battle.
Over and over again, endlessly.
Even the eighteenth level of hell isn't this torturous.
